We have had the same exact thing going on for a year now!! The small colored lint seem to be bad too!! And I have white to clear variegated hairs that are ALIVE!! If you put a light up to them they draw back and attack like a snake! Just crazy!!! And all the medical profession say your nuts!! I think it's because they have no idea what they are and how to cure them!! I'm starting to believe the gentleman that said it's the governent and their experiments!! Your not alone....
